{"title":"Candlesticks","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eA flickering selection of antique candlesticks sourced from the markets, brocantes, estates, and private ateliers of Provence — bringing together the finest French, Italian, Spanish, and Swedish antiques, imported by Drue Bohrer Antiques.

The form is monumental in character — a turned urn-form candle cup surmounting a layered column of stacked architectural elements: a domed cap with petal-form collar, a broad cylindrical drum, and a stepped molded base raised on three scrolled feet. Every element has been assembled from genuine antique fragments, and the accumulated patina of centuries — layers of paint, gesso, and gilding worn to a chalky, ghostly surface of extraordinary beauty — speaks to the devotional and architectural contexts from which these materials were drawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe overall surface is a study in controlled decay: cracked, peeling, and bleached to a warm grey-white, with traces of gilt and polychrome visible beneath the uppermost layers. The three scrolled feet at the base anchor the piece with a Baroque solidity, while the petal collar and urn-form cup at the crown give it an almost floral delicacy. An object of this presence reads as sculpture as much as functional candlestick — equally at home on a mantel, altar table, or as a centerpiece in a considered interior. The candlestick can also be converted into a table lamp by a lamp maker or electrician — its scale and form make it an exceptional candidate for wiring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCirca:\u003c\/strong\u003e 18th–19th Century\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italian Baroque \/ Ecclesiastical\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carved and turned wood; gesso; traces of polychrome and gilt; constructed from period 18th and 19th century Italian antique fragments and materials\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDetails:\u003c\/strong\u003e Urn-form candle cup; petal-form collar; cylindrical drum column; stepped molded base; three scrolled feet; suitable for conversion to a table lamp\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003e8.5\" Diameter x 13.5\" H\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Antique — beautiful age-appropriate surface wear, craquelure, and paint loss throughout consistent with period ecclesiastical use\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Drue Bohrer Antiques","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45193305980951,"sku":"DBA-035-C1","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/8049\/5895\/files\/italian-antique-fragment-candlestick-5279230.jpg?v=1780720626"},{"product_id":"italian-antique-fragment-candlestick-with-gilt-petal-crown","title":"Italian Antique Fragment Candlestick with Gilt Petal Crown","description":"\u003cp\u003eA magnificent Italian antique fragment candlestick of exceptional sculptural presence, constructed entirely from 18th and 19th century period materials. This example is distinguished by its elaborate gilt petal crown — two tiers of carved and gilded acanthus-form leaves radiating outward from the central column, their surfaces retaining rich traces of original gilding against a warm brown ground — which gives the piece an almost floral, Baroque exuberance quite distinct from its more austere companions. Above the petal crown, a turned urn-form candle cup rises on a slender baluster neck; below, the column descends through a series of molded rings to a broad, bell-shaped base in a layered blue and white painted finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe contrast between the gilded upper elements and the pale blue-white painted base is deeply beautiful — a record of the different hands, periods, and contexts from which these fragments were gathered and assembled. The surface throughout is alive with age: cracked gesso, worn gilding, and the ghostly bloom of centuries of use in a devotional setting. An object of this quality and complexity reads as pure sculpture — a centerpiece for a mantel, altar table, or console.
